Let me add, I would spool the reel up with spectra, and go with a short topshot.

New Uglystik 12-30 with a used sealine/saltist 20
And
New Uglystik 20-50 with a used sealine/saltist 30 or 40

Both of those setups would run you about $300, or probably less if you dig around or find coupons to buy the rods with. And they would have you covered from bass to yt/wsb (and tuna on party boats).

I had a torium forever... Just like my saltist more. Seems more robust... Though the finish on the silver saltists are crap. But i don't care cuz they are dedicated kayak reels.
Both toriums and saltists are easy to maintain. Stock drags on the torium turn to dust when you have big fish pulling on the other end. Stock drags in saltists last longer.

Both utilize anti reverse bearings... But I've only heard of these going bad in the torium, and not the saltist (not to say that they won't).... Which lead to a knuckle buster.

For lever drag my choice would be an avet sx or mxj
